Each wheel has a height adjustment lever to change the cutting
height of the mower. Refer to Fig. 3-7.
Depress height adjustment lever towards wheel.
Slide lever to desired position for a change in cutting
height.
Release lever towards deck.
IMPORTANT: All wheels must be placed in the same
relative position. For rough or uneven lawns, move the
height adjustment lever to a higher position. This will stop
scalping of grass.
Drive Control
The adjustment wheel is located in the drive control handle
housing and is used to tighten or loosen the drive belt. You will
need to adjust the drive control if the mower does not propel
itself with the drive control engaged or if the mower’s wheels
hesitate with the drive control engaged. If either of these
conditions occur, rotate adjustment wheel clockwise to tighten
cable or counterclockwise to loosen the cable. See Fig. 3-8.
Gas and Oil Fill-Up
Refer to the separate engine owner’s manual for additional
engine information.
Add oil provided before starting unit for the first time out
of the box.
Service the engine with gasoline as instructed in the
separate engine owner’s manual.
WARNING: Use extreme care when handling
gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and the
vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
